Bright theatrical actress, star of the "Wakhtang" scene, who played in all genres and roles. In the movie starred in the films “Egor Bulychev and others”, “Free wind”, “Lesson of literature”, “Identification”, “Treasure”, “Dobryki”.
Larisa Pashkova entered the school of the Vakhtangov Theater after her older sister, Galina Pashkova, who later became one of the favorites of theater Moscow. And soon she took one of the leading places in the troupe. An actress of a bright temperament, prone to romantic colors, Pashkova brilliantly played both comedic and acute roles. Among the works on the stage: Galina Sakhno (“Dryapukha”), Varvara (“Egor Bulychev and others”), Lucia (“Filumena Marturano”), Masha (“Seagull”), Village Baba (“Konarmiya”), Anisya (“Virineya”). For many years, Larisa Alekseevna taught at her native school.
Colleagues remember her as a complex and extraordinary person. She was hot-tempered, but at the same time infinitely romantic, knew how to live on stage, which is beyond the control of many actors. Her knowledge of literature, theater, painting and music delighted those around her. Everything that Larisa Pashkova touched was illuminated by her talent. After she voiced the main character in the film Nights of Cabiria, Juliet Mazina gave her her best portrait with the caption - words of admiration and gratitude.
But the life of a talented actress was tragic. After a car accident, one leg became shorter than the other. After several years of idleness, Pashkova offered the theater to stage the play “Trap” Zola, where she played a lame Gervaise. Thanks to this work, the actress again believed herself, and then learned to hide her physical imperfections.
But soon there was a new disaster – the arrest of her husband, the General Director of Soyuzgostsirk Anatoly Kolevatov and the sentence: 13 years. Larisa Pashkova immediately became a disgraced actress, although no one took her work from her in her native theater. But stress, depression, night calls of “well-wishers” did their job – the actress faded away.
Kolevatov was released early, but he did not see his wife alive.
People's Artist of the RSFSR (1963).
Laureate of the USSR State Prize (1952).
Since 1942, after graduating from the Shchukin Theatre School, at the Vakhtangov Theatre.
